Difficult:
It is difficult for me to fully grasp and understand how the the field F[x] modulo p(x) can act just like the Integers modulo n. It seems to make sense when it is explained in terms of proofs and generic letters representing numbers, but when I start to think of actual polynomials, the connection and the understanding starts to fall apart. I guess the reason for this confusion is that I always saw polynomials as these random sequences of numbers and variables that I needed to solve. I never really saw any kind of significance to their patterns.
Reflective:
Like, I have said before it is amazing how you can expand one simple idea into another realm of combinations. The whole congruence modulo has been expanded from the integers now into the field F[x]. Like, I have said before, it seems to make sense in the book. But it will take a little time and experience before I can become completely comfortable with understanding how everything works.
